The NES version of Double Dragon takes a wide range of liberties with the interpretation. The entire graphical style is more in line with Technōs’ Kunio-kun series, with characters that go for exaggerated expression rather than gritty realism. The biggest change, however, was reserved for the moveset. You start the game with only the punch, kick and headbutt available – all the other moves are obtained via an RPG-lite style experience system. Hitting enemies is now rewarded with a certain amount of experience points depending on the attack, and each time the counter goes above 999, you’re awarded an additional heart, which extends the range of possible actions. Two hearts add the uppercut and roundhouse kick combo finishers, and with three Billy can perform the jump kick maneuver. The fourth heart unlocks access to grappling moves.

Full Walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL957yPFpIoy_1iEsMyHjLTRukj4Isf8Ly / Summary: "Double Dragon" is a classic arcade video game released in 1987 by Technos Japan Corp. It was later ported to various home consoles and became a popular franchise. The game is a side-scrolling beat 'em up that follows the story of two martial artist brothers, Billy and Jimmy Lee, who are on a mission to rescue Billy's girlfriend, Marian, who has been kidnapped by a gang called the Black Warriors. Players control either Billy or Jimmy (or both in two-player mode) as they fight their way through several levels filled with various enemies. The gameplay involves punching, kicking, and using various weapons that can be picked up along the way. The objective is to defeat the boss characters at the end of each level and eventually confront the main antagonist, Willy. "Double Dragon" is known for its cooperative multiplayer mode, where two players can team up to take on the game's challenges together. It's also notable for its impact on the beat 'em up genre, inspiring many similar games and sequels over the years. The game's simple yet engaging gameplay, along with its iconic characters and memorable music, have cemented its status as a classic in the world of video games. It has been re-released on various gaming platforms, and its legacy continues to influence game design in the beat 'em up genre.
